   dig up dirt on


  我们要学的第一个习惯用语是:dig up dirt on。从字面来看dig up dirt on就是把脏东西挖掘出来。不说你也想得到, 这儿的脏东西一定指那些见不得人的丑事,这个习惯用语的意思就是“查找某人的丑事”。政界惯用的伎俩就是深挖细查政敌的隐私, 把他那些不为人知的丑闻揭露在光天化日之下, 损毁他的形象。
  例句-1:We spent weeks trying to dig up dirt on this guy.
  我们几星期来都在竭力挖那家伙的丑事。
  sweep the dirt under the rug
  第二个习惯用语是:sweep the dirt under the rug。Sweep意思是清扫, 而rug就是地毯。地板上的灰尘当然有碍观瞻, 而懒得做家务的人会把那些脏东西扫到地毯底下遮人耳目。这个习惯用语引申为“掩盖……的真相”
  例句-2:The mayor tried to sweep the corruption 1 dirt at city hall under the rug.
  市长尽力掩盖市政府的腐败丑闻,
